On a recent trip some fishermen on the Krishna mentioned being "attacked" by one of these, he referred to it by the local name "aheer". I tried to cross question him a bit but he insisted that he was telling the truth and that it was not that uncommon an occurence.Apparently the eel is of great value since slime covering it is used by the local vaids in medicines and the flesh is considered to be an aphrodisiac Regards, Yaj.

I will tend to believe you mate seeing the size of Mr Aloo's eel well that bugger looks monstrous enough and i think you get some thing like these or used to get in sea too . I am not sure though all i have ever caught (i am famous for it ) are sea eels largest was about two and half pounds.Any comments on that guys??

Yes you get the morays Rajat. They form a knot when you hook them. The have a real mean bite. They can be eaten but I have not heard of the aphrodisiac qualities, they are reputed to be good for the back/spine. The blood really stinks though.
